The gravel granfondo in the UNESCO Dolomites with the Barley Festival at Parco Birreria Pedavena
The Sportful Dolomiti Gravel is a gravel bike granfondo set in the scenery of the UNESCO Dolomites, starting from Feltre and finishing at the Parco della Birreria Pedavena, in the province of Belluno. Organised by SSD Pedale Feltrino, it offers an off-road route through white roads, woods, and mountain panoramas, with live tracking and mechanical assistance along the route.
Designed for cyclists' companions but open to everyone, the Festa dell'Orzo transforms the brewery park into a large beer village. Featuring craft beer tastings, the Mr. Malt laboratory dedicated to the art of brewing, games, pony rides for the little ones, and guided brewery tours, the day becomes a family celebration culminating in live music and evening DJ sets.
The meeting of the gravel granfondo and the historic Birreria Pedavenaโone of Italy's oldest breweries, founded in 1897โmakes this event unique: the cyclists' arrival coincides with the beer festival, a combination that celebrates both athletic effort and the conviviality of the Belluno Dolomites.
The event links two symbolic places of the Feltrino area: Feltre, an elegant walled city, and Pedavena, famous for its brewery. Together, they offer the ideal setting for a weekend combining cycling, nature, and gastronomy in the heart of the mountain region of Veneto.
The 2026 edition of the Sportful Dolomiti Gravel takes place from July 10 to 12, with the gravel granfondo through the UNESCO Dolomites and arrival at the Parco della Birreria Pedavena. Saturday is dedicated to the Festa dell'Orzo, which from 9:00 AM enlivens the park with the Mr. Malt laboratory, tastings, games, and ponies for children, guided brewery tours, and in the evening, DJ sets and entertainment. A day of celebration that welcomes the arrival of cyclists between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
